What is Bigorexia?

In honor of National Eating Disorder Awareness week (2/24-3/2), we wanted to share an article on an increasingly prevalent form of body dysphoria disorder: bigorexia, also known as muscle dysmorphia. Primarily affecting young men between 15 and 32, bigorexia can lead to compulsive exercising, dangerous supplement use, and severe mental health challenges.

Like other disorders, bigorexia doesn't discriminate and can affect anyone regardless of how they identify.
